Abstract

Endoscopic placement of a lumen-apposing metal stent(LAMS) is a novel means of managing patients with malignant gastric outlet obstruction (GOO), particularly those with prohibitive surgical risk factors. However, long-term data on endoscopic gastrojejunal LAMSs are lacking, and mechanical obstruction may still occur from benign processes. In this video (Video 1, available online at www.giejournal.org), we describe a novel case in which double-pigtail stents were used to manage an obstructed LAMS due to occlusion of the distal flange of the LAMS by the contralateral jejunal wall.
